WHAT IN PERSON, YA FOOLS
WHERE anywhere
WHEN Day 8, evening

[ it's beginning to be summer -- or something like that, sort of. late spring? the weather has been warming up is the point and in the twilight of, well, now, the fireflies have also come out.

twinkling little stars that are actually bugs. Rather, slightly larger than the normal firefly -- in fact, perhaps they seem more like will o' the wisp sized.

But still, a lovely summer. If you follow one they may lead you (crashing into) the path of someone else.

Or the lake.

Definitely also the lake. ]

[ There's a very large (200cm+ tall) man in a white and purple flight suit staring at the lake as he walks alongside it. He's opened the bag of cheetos and has tossed a couple pieces out into the water, feeding a couple of always-hungry ducks. Or fish. Whatever gets there first.

He doesn't look so good, but maybe that's just a trick of the light. ]

SPOILER ... WARNING ... FOR THIS THREAD

[ McGillis isn't in his own pilot suit, at this point -- he's dressed more casually, slacks and a white button-up shirt, blending him in more with the surroundings.

whereas the man in the pilot suit definitely stands out, and McGillis is definitely stopping. he doesn't say a word, as if waiting to see if the figure he's spotted is just a trick of the light entirely, if he's hallucinating or -- something. something other than what it could be. ]

[well, she's not doing any running around herself, but anyone following the "fireflies" without watching where they're going might find themselves tripping over either this tiny girl or the filled-up tote bag by her side-- on second thought, maybe sitting jjjjust outside the reach of the nearest light source in order to see the wisps better wasn't the greatest idea.]

[turnonmycharm]

. . . you know, I hadn't thought about the labor laws here.

[just striking up a conversation out of the blue]

[2beautiful2live]

[OR MAYBE A DUDE, SITTING BY THE LAKE? Kind of looking wet as if he just climbed out of it. And disoriented.

But a wet and crumpled pamphlet for new arrivals is next to him, along with a set of keys, and a gun. And a wet arrival package he hasn't bothered to open.

He's in a maroon suit.]

Aah... what the hell. Who would've guessed there'd be a place like this on the other side?

[mackynations]

[ is he double hallucinating today? is that just what this is?

this figure he does speak to, at least, and doesn't just stand there wordlessly. because he knows perfectly alive people can end up here but mentions of "the other side" kind of make him suspicious. ]

Orga...?

[clocked_out]

[welp there is a skinny teenager in sunglasses watching him, hands shoved into his pockets]

Ah, dude. You ain't dead at this particular moment.

[clocked_out]

[Dave is just sitting by the shore of the lake in the half-dark. Texting on his phone instead of enjoying nature, damn millennial.

For once he's not talking to himself]

[abardacttofollow]

Hey.

[a little quiet, not wanting to interrupt the tranquility]

[turnonmycharm]

So, what are you wearing?

[hotsytotsybotsy]

[It's time for Tammy to put theory into practice. Can she troll people anonymously on these primitive phones?]

[conatus]

[EARLY TODAY, IF YOU HAPPENED TO WORK IN THE BARN, you may have noticed a few ... strange little things out of place. items not where you left them the night before, strange dark stains that lead up to the ladder of the hay loft— but hey, it's probably not a serial killer up there, right? right.

or, after the sun goes down, you could always run into this strange young man who looks like he got mauled by a wild animal— his clothes do, anyway. now that you mention it he seems to be perfectly fine, if a little pallid, as he tries to get the weather to display on his futuristically high tech cellphone.]

[turnonmycharm]

[there's someone watching you from under a street lamp, arms crossed lightly. he just fucking appeared. you were probably looking down at the time. right.]

[twicebonded]

[. . . mmmmhmmm I'm going to go up to the barn loft . . . . . . first the lamb incident, then the sleeping guy, what the fuck, please leave my animals alone]

[chasethedragon]

[ IN THE BARN this guy who. definitely does not seem like he belongs in a barn. god pings etc.

just staring at remus with disdain. ]

What do you think you're doing?

[cannonbeauty]

[ Jessica comes to a dead stop when she sees him moseying about. Fate servant pings for this one, etc. ]

Oh my, are you alright?

[cinnaponroll]

[Though he has a small bag of groceries that he ought to deal with, the wisp is charming enough that he follows behind one.]

Oi, wait up.

[cannonbeauty]

Where are you going?

[ People with groceries usually head to their apartment to drop them off, not. . . wherever the shiny thing is going. ]

[punchiest]

[ if you follow your firefly it may lead you to trip over this body.

he's probably sleeping and not dead right ]

[cannonbeauty]

[ she knows this body! But he's sleeping so peacefully, so maybe it'll be okay to let him be.

At least until she figures out why he's here and how to properly apologize for that. She'll sit beside him while she tries to figure that out, softly hemming and hawing. ]

[2beautiful2live]

[There is a guy who let's say by now has acquired a change of clothes so doesn't look like he was recently shot several times, but is too restless to actually stay in his ritzy apartment.

He's a little concerned when he finds the body. Like.

He was literally JUST told this place is some sort of peaceful paradise.]

Hey--

[Going over to check it out.]

You alive?

[shaveandahaircut]

[This guy got distracted following fireflies on his way home from school and nearly tripped and fell into the lake. whups]

Ah—what—?!

[wanpanjanai]

[Suddenly an egg is there holding out an arm to stop him]

You should pay attention.

[turnonmycharm]

Careful, handsome.

[catching his arm, bracing him]

[proficient_in_photoshop]

[on way home from work. Walking slowly and awkwardly. Garbles out when he sees Seri almost fall]

Hey, careful!!
